CortexLab is built around a simple separation: editorial conclusions should be based on evidence and editorial judgment, not on who pays for placement.
Accuracy and sourcing
We aim to verify factual claims using primary documentation, direct product testing or reliable reporting. Claims made by companies are attributed when independent verification is not available.
Reviews and comparisons
Reviews should explain how a product was evaluated, what it does well, where it falls short and who it may or may not suit. Comparisons should use criteria relevant to the products and the reader’s decision.
Commercial relationships
CortexLab may use affiliate links, sponsorships or other commercial relationships in the future. When a commercial relationship is relevant to a page, it should be disclosed clearly. Payment does not purchase a favorable review or editorial conclusion.
Corrections and updates
If we discover a material factual error, we aim to correct it. Articles may also be updated when products, prices, model versions or other time-sensitive facts change.
AI-assisted publishing
Automation and AI may assist parts of the publishing workflow. Editorial responsibility remains with CortexLab. Automated production is not a substitute for source checking, useful structure or accountability for what appears on the site.
